This topic looks interesting.

Hey Bill. This is a hobby and interest for some people. Hedges are not necessarily bad. What do you want, for everybody to just sit in a room with a skylight and vegetate. Living takes resources. That's like saying to somebody, don't swim in the ocean, you will wear out your swimsuit, and that's wasteful. Printing of books takes paper, oh no!

I think, 77141, he's admiring hedges, some hedges that are trimmed attractively and sustainably, no?

Pardon the pun, Billy, but there are some neat hedges here :-) In England they is an art to presenting the hedge to it's full potential. Some days here in SB I see forms resembling a celebration of the chainsaw massacre

Thanks to 77147P and 77185 (funny that your parents gave you such similar names) for straightening out 77141 (are you three related? The Bostonian 771s?).

Yes, playing against character, I'm saying something NICE about hegdes, the one's that reflect a bit of art and thought. And yes, almost everything consumes resources - my problem is the ones that create ugliness AND waste. Doesn't seem worth the effort.

Now carry on. I suspect someone else from your loosely knit family will be long soon. So nice to be the catalyst for building a genealogy tree.

I don't understand what 77141 was reading when commenting. Did you notice the nice things said in Billy's 5-22-10 blog? The photos are good support to his writing. Mr. Billy, I appreciated you exploring other options to hedgeicide, especially the teddy bear looking photo.

I live in a condominum complex. When I see the destroyer of beauty, loosely described as a "gardener" (eeeeek) , approach my part of the building with a hedge trimmer and a steely glint in his eye, I stand fearlessly in front of the poor shaking and tortured shrubs, and dare him. It works.

" I'd much rather coo over a taste of eye candy than risk laryngitis screaming at mindless hack jobs".

--now see how much more lyrical that is than... "sucks" ?
that's 'our' Garden Guy!
